T The greatest man is he who chooses the
right with invincihle resolution, who re-
sists the sorest temptations from within
and without, who bears the heaviest bur-
deus cheerfully. who is calmest in storms,
most fearless under menace and frown,
whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on
God, is almost unfaltering.
A postal from Commissioner Clink-
scales informs ius that the Institute at
Williamson is still booming. One hum
dred and twenty five teachers are in at
tendance. Prof. Woodrow lectured last
night, and DIR. Furhian will lecture to-
night. The Institute will close tomorrow
(Friday). The Institute has been sue
cess, and the benefits to be derived from
it will be felt in our County for years to
come.
The weather for the past week has been
extremely; warm and oppressive, the ther-
mometer ranging from 95 to los in the
shade. This hot spell was partially broken
Tuesday. afternoon by refreshing rain
fall in various sections of the County. 1t
has been four weeks since we have had
any rain in the city, and the gard lens and
crops in and around the city are begin
ming to suffer. We have heard of only
two or three sections of the County where
they were really needing rain, and it is
hoped they were favored with season"

Commencement we had the pleasure of
meeting DR.. B. F. Brown, of Anderson,
an rold college mate. In those days he
was known as DIR. Betsy At the begin.
ming of the war he was in Georgia, and,
arms being scarce, he invented what--was
afterwards known as the Joe Brown
lance,n on account of its adoption by
Gov. Brown. 1t consisted of staff about
ten feet long with metal head, 80 con-
stlucted as to cut or pierce in any and all
directions. It was intended to be caval-
-ry arm. DR.. Brown rose to the rank of
Colonel. and is q most excellent gentle
man.
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat of
last week says: A man representing the
Harter Medicine Company, of-st. Louis,
Mo-, now travelling through this State in
abuggy drawnlby two horses, should not
receive any fayors at the hands of our
people,. as he lis. bitter enemy of the
South. While here he talked very freely
about rebels, and magnified Blaine, John
Sherman and other apostles Of hate to the
skies. He says he don't think the South
was whipped half. enough, and that an
other good whipping would just about
put her in trim. We think the name Of
this man is Halleck, and we hope the
press of the State will pass him around"
Greenville Ne,us "It is not necessary
to commend Capt. j. B. Patrick to the
the confidence Or good viii of any .co4::.
munity in this State. His ability as an
educator, and his qualities as man are
widely known, and are testified Of by
many living Witnesses throughout the
country. It is proper to say, however,
that the announcement of his purpose to
leave here will be received with general
and deep regret in this community, where
he has lived and labored with SO much
credit to himself and advantage to the
public. AS q. teacher and citizen his
value can not be overestimated; his pri-
vate life and work are as good and useful
as his teaching is thorough and sound,
and he has brought up sons who follow
in his footsteps. General knowledge and
appreciation of his character and work
make the good will and good wishes that
will accompany him and his from here
very warm and hearty"
Mr.. M. B. Arnstein has sold the stock
and good will Of the New York Cash
Store to Messrs. Louis Sharpe and rs.
Crayton, jr., who will continue business
at the old stand. Messrs. Sharpe and Cray
ton are we'll known to our people, having
been born and reared in Anderson, and
having been engaged in business here
since their boyhood days. They are wor-
thy, energetic young gentlemen, and are
bound to meet with success. Their good
taste and experience will enable them to
keep stock of goods that will suit every
class of'trade. We regret to see Mr.. Arm
stein leave Anderson. During his resi-
dsnce of zine years in our midst, he has
conducted most successful business, and
his customers were not confined to our
County, but extended through all the
neighboring Counties. His establishment
was second to none in upper Carolina,
and he carried a line of goods seldom
found outside of large cities. Mr.. Arm
stein is thorough business man, as his
success in Anderson proves. He was lib
eral in the use of printers ink, and when
he wanted to close out certain goods, he
marked them down and informed the
